Hello there!
This is the time I've done something like this, but I have a tonne of questiins for those of you that would be kind enough to read and reply!
I am looking to get a pair of mini lops in the new year, a buck and a doe as I've heard that they bond best. I will be neutering them so would you recommend keeping them apart until then or would it be better to bond them as soon as possible if I am getting them at about 10 weeks of age?
I've also been wondering about hutch sizes, as I will be keeping them outside. I would like to get a double hutch so that they can be separated when necessary and had thought that a 5ft one would be large enough considering that the mini lops aren't that big fully grown and they will have the entire top and bottom floor, but as I said I don't know as much as all of you! I also would be getting a 6ft by about 4ft run, so do you think that this would be large enough too?
I thought that I would be better to go to a breeder rather than a pet shop, so would you suggest lookinb around the place first?
I had a rabbit and some guineas when I was younger but don't really know where to start with stuff which is why I don't want to rush into anything! Any tips that you could give me would be really appreciated
